iPhone turned five today

Five years ago on the 9th of January 2007 Steve Jobs presented a “revolutionary communicative device” on the Macworld exhibition — iPhone. Despite the doubts raised by some observers, iPhone was released on June, 29, 2007 and broke all the popularity records, becoming trendsetter on the smartphone market.

We owe the progress in smartphone industry exactly to iPhone, as due to this Apple’s device smartphones around the world gave up stylus in favour of fingers, got huge touch-screen panels and mobile application development was taken to the whole new level with the App Store. By the way, Apple App Store is still the most prominent and profitable platform for mobile apps delivery.

For these five years Apple has launched five versions of its famous smartphone (iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S), continuously extending its market share, which in the USA reaches 36% and in Europe – 20-30%.

By the way, being part of the iPhone Developer Program, we, at Intellectsoft, have immediate access to the most up-to-date development utilities and iPhone operating system software ahead of the release schedules. This results in a pleasant bonus for our clients: no more need to apply for membership when releasing content to the App Store; we'll take it upon ourselves to make sure the deployment is completed swiftly and the content is promptly released to countless iPhone users from around the world. However, we realise that some might desire to become members of the iPhone Developer Program themselves, in which case we'll gladly help in opening this account and submitting a thorough application.
